Turn the Lights Back On Songtext
von Billy Joel

Please, open the door
Nothing is different, we′ve been here before
Pacing these halls, trying to talk
Over the silence

And pride sticks out his tongue
Laughs at the portrait that we become
Stuck in a frame, unable to change
I was wrong

I'm late, but I′m here right now
Though, I used to be romantic
I forgot somehow
Time can make you blind

But I see you now
As we're laying in the darkness
Did I wait too long
To turn the lights back on?


Here, stuck on a hill
Outsiders inside the home that we built
The cold settles in, it's been a long
Winter of indifference

And maybe you love me, maybe you don′t
Maybe you′ll learn to and maybe you won't
You′ve had enough, but I won't give up
On you

I′m late, but I'm here right now
And I′m trying to find the magic
That we lost somehow
Maybe I was blind

But I see you now
As we're laying in the darkness
Did I wait too long
To turn the lights back on?

I'm late, but I′m here right now
Is there still time for forgiveness?
Won′t you tell me how?
I can't read your mind


But I see you now
As we′re layin' in the darkness
Did I wait too long
To turn the lights back on?

I′m here right now
Yes, I'm here right now
Looking for forgiveness
I can see

As we′re laying in the darkness
Yes, we're laying in the darkness
Did I wait too long
To turn the lights back on?
